Sun Quan was quite looking forward to Zhu Yawen taking on the role of "This Daddy Is Unusual", although Zhu Yawen's image did not quite match the image of Huang Shan, the leading actor in "This Daddy Is Unusual".
But he can understand the discrepancies in film and television drama production, character design, and plot.
Especially after having the experience of producing the first season of "Dead Man's Last Wish", Sun Quan is better able to understand the considerations that go into the casting of film and television dramas.
When preparing for the first season of "Dead Man's Last Wish", he repeatedly emphasized that the image of the actors must be as consistent as possible with the characters in the original work.
But this concept gradually changed.
For example, the actor who plays the male protagonist in "The Last Wish of the Dead" - Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao's image does not match the original protagonist's image in "The Last Wish of the Dead". Cheng Hao is a bit too handsome.
But during the actor audition, Sun Quan was impressed by Cheng Hao's acting skills.
Although he was too handsome and inconsistent with the original character, he was an actor with excellent acting skills. After weighing it in his heart, Sun Quan decided to give it a try and let Cheng Hao play the male lead in "The Last Wish of the Dead".
And the final effect... As everyone knows, Cheng Hao's performance is very good. After the first season of "Dead Man's Last Wish" was aired online, its popularity and reputation were also very good.
Even if there are occasional negative reviews, they are rarely critical of the male lead, Cheng Hao.
Therefore, after that incident, when selecting actors, Sun Quan no longer placed as much emphasis on the fit between the actor and the character's image as he did at the beginning.
As long as it's not too excessive and the actor's acting skills are excellent, he's willing to consider it.
As for what is not too much?
In Sun Quan's opinion, as long as the person who plays Wu Dalang is not over 1.7 meters tall; the person who plays the vixen is not like Sister Furong; the person who plays Xiang Shaolong is not a fair-skinned and beautiful sissy... and so on,
That's not too much.
As for the image of the actor Zhu Yawen, although it does not match the image of Huang Shan, the male protagonist of "This Dad Is Unusual".
But not too outrageous.
The difference is... in the setting of the original work, the image of Huangshan is not as tough as Zhu Yawen's.
At least in the early plot of "This Dad Is Unusual", the image of the male protagonist Huang Shan is biased towards the image of a gentle scholar.
After all, in the early setting of this book, Huangshan didn't endure much hardship when he was a boy. He went to college all the way. After graduating from college, he worked quite leisurely, but he still didn't endure much hardship. Even after getting married, his life was quite comfortable, until
The daughter-in-law his father arranged for him ran away with the money, and his life suddenly changed.
As the lyrics say, "Today we are entering the wind and rain again..."
Perhaps the word "and" can be removed from this lyrics to make it more accurate.
So when Sun Quan wrote this book, the male protagonist Huang Shan, who had just appeared, was not weak, but he was more like a gentle and elegant college graduate.
And the image of Zhu Yawen...
His facial lines are relatively strong, and his grin always makes people see his good teeth. As long as he sees his good teeth, anyone will think that this guy must be in great physical condition.
And this is inconsistent with the image of Huangshan.
Of course, Sun Quan doesn't think this image discrepancy is a big problem, at least... If Zhu Yawen plays this role, after his wife takes the money and runs away, the male protagonist he plays will inherit his father's legacy and learn from it according to the plot.
When killing pigs, it is more convincing if you can successfully knock a big fat pig to the ground and kill it with one knife.
pity……
A few days later, Xue Zihan called Sun Quan and told Sun Quan that Zhu Yawen's schedule was conflicting. Before Gaoyi Gong asked him to play this role, Zhu Yawen had already accepted a film called "Earth Fire".
Spy drama, and also plays the leading role.
Therefore, Zhu Yawen declined the invitation from Gao Yigong and did not accept "This Daddy is Extraordinary".
The moment he heard the bad news, Sun Quan sighed in his heart - a good butcher is gone...
On the phone, Xue Zihan told him that director Gao Yigong was already looking for other actors, and there should be good news coming soon.
Sun Quan asked her if she knew who Director Gao planned to invite this time.
Xue Zihan told him - "It seems that we are planning to invite Xu Zheng. Director Gao said that they have worked together before, so maybe we can invite him over."
Sun Quan laughed silently at that time.
He doesn't believe it!
He didn't believe that the first grade of high school could invite Xu Zheng to act in this drama at this time.
Because the memory before his rebirth told him that Xu Zheng at this period should have been preparing to write, direct and star in "囧囧", and he was very ambitious! At this period, let alone the first grade of high school, it is estimated that no matter which director in the country is going
If you invite Xu Zheng to star in anything, whether it's a TV series or a movie, I'm afraid he will be rejected.
A bald man who wants to write, direct and act himself...no one can stop him.
Isn’t that what they say: I’m bald, but I’ve also become stronger.
Countless examples tell us that bald heads should not be underestimated.
Sure enough, within a few days, Xue Zihan called and told Sun Quan - "Alas! Xu Zheng also declined..."
Even over the phone, I could feel her disappointment in her tone.
It seems that she also wanted Xu Zhenglai to play the male lead in this new drama.
She probably likes watching TV series starring Xu Zheng! There are many viewers like her in China.
She may not have thought about whether Xu Zheng's image and age fit the role of Huangshan.
Sun Quan thought about it, but he was too lazy to remind her. Anyway, he had already expected that Xu Zheng would not take the drama.
Even if Xu Zheng is not preparing for "囧" in the near future, Xu Zheng himself probably will not take over the filming of "This Daddy is Extraordinary".
reason?
Sun Quan felt that Xu Zheng didn't have the confidence to overturn a big fat pig on his own during the filming and then kill it with one knife.
He has never had the talent point to light up the "Pig Killer" in his life.
…
I have to say that Gao Daoyigong has a good vision.
After Xu Zheng refused to accept the new drama, Gao Yigong turned his attention to Huang Bo again.
He didn't care at all that the difference between Huang Bo's image and Huang Shan's character image was too big. Sun Quan estimated that after Gao Yigong was declined by Xu Zheng, he was unwilling to accept it and wanted to find another popular comedian to star in "This Nanny Isn't"
generally".
Sun Quan did not express any objection to this. Firstly...he also liked the actor Huang Bo, and secondly...he believed that Director Gao Yigong's invitation this time would still fail.
Because in his memory before his rebirth, Huang Bo was also one of the starring actors in "囧囧".
Now Xu Zheng should be preparing for "囧囧", and Huang Bo has probably signed a contract to star in "囧囧". Can director Gao Yigong resolve the scheduling conflict?
There is no shortage of film offers for actors with popular acting skills. In addition to "囧囧", Huang Bo is likely to have other film offers.
Director Gao Yigong's invitation must have been late.
The facts... seem to prove one thing - Sun Quan seems to have the potential to be a magician.
No surprise, he was right again this time.
The day before yesterday, Xue Zihan just told him on the phone that director Gao Yigong was planning to invite Huang Bo to star.
I received a call from her today - "Oh! Huang Bo also declined and said there was no schedule..."
Hearing this unexpected news, Sun Quan wanted to laugh a little, but at the same time he was also a little curious - who is Director Gao Yigong going to invite next?
Couldn't it be Baby Wang?
The three most promising comedy actors in the Mainland, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Director Gao have all been invited. Is it Wang Baobao’s turn next?
If Sun Quan is really planning to invite Wang Baobao, and Sun Quan feels that he can be a magic stick again, Wang Baobao will most likely decline Director Gao's invitation.
Because "囧囧"...Wang Baobao is also one of the starring roles!
but……
More than two weeks have passed, and Sun Quanquan has not heard about who Director Gao is planning to invite. This is because as mentioned earlier, several of the actors he wanted to invite were rejected. Director Gao was shy, so before officially inviting anyone,
Don’t you plan to tell Xue Zihan in advance?
The above is Sun Quan's guess. He feels that given his potential to be a magic stick, this guess should be very close to the truth.
Anyway, in the past two weeks or so, every time he talked to Xue Zihan on the phone or held a video conference and asked her which actor Director Gao was planning to invite recently, Xue Zihan said - "I don't know! Director Gao didn't tell her again."
Me."
…
He was always declined by the actors he liked. Although this matter had little to do with Sun Quan, it was Director Gao who always lost face the most.
But while Sun Quan found it funny, he occasionally felt that his face was a bit dull.
After all, "This Daddy Is Unusual" was written by him, adapted from the script by Dayu, and is a new drama that his Salted Fish Films is planning to invest in.
When those famous actors rejected Director Gao, weren't they actually rejecting him, Mr. Sun, and his Salted Fish Films?
If Mr. Sun's reputation were a little bigger, and if Salty Fish Film and Television's scale and strength were a little bigger and stronger, would those actors and actresses be more careful about this new drama invested by him and his Salty Fish Film and Television?
?
For example, if one of the top domestic directors holds a movie script and invites these actors to star in it, even Xu Zheng, who is currently busy preparing for "囧", might consider taking the role, right?
After all, before "囧" was released, who could have predicted that this movie would be a box office hit?
Even Xu Zheng himself probably didn't expect that the box office would be so exaggerated when this movie was released, right?
Thinking about this, Sun Quan inevitably felt a little unhappy.
In this mood, he went to the magic city to attend the closing party of the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish".
Last night, he received a notice and invitation from Wang Zheng, saying that the last scene of the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish" should be finished today, and he hoped that he could find time to go to Shanghai to attend the wrap-up party of the show.
Upon hearing this invitation, Sun Quan did not refuse in a hurry.
Instead, he went back to discuss it with his wife Yuan Shuiqing. Because of the incident with Huo Yiyi, Yuan Shuiqing had drawn a circle for him early...
——He is not allowed to go to the Magic City alone in the future.
As long as she is not traveling with her, even if he brings bodyguards and assistants, he is considered traveling alone.
Sun Quan clearly remembered the circle his wife had drawn for him, but he still did not immediately refuse Wang Zheng's invitation, mainly because he was absent most of the time during the filming of the second season of "The Last Wish of the Dead". Except for the first few days, he
I was in Shanghai, and I haven’t been to Shanghai since then to watch the filming of this drama.
As the big boss of Xianyu Film and Television, Sun Quan feels that he has been a bit derelict in this matter.
And now that the filming of the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish" is about to be completed, and there is about to be a closing banquet, Wang Zheng invites him over at this time. If he still refuses, it would be a bit too much.
Even if you throw away the shopkeeper, you can't throw it away to this extent.
So he first asked his wife Yuan Shuiqing's opinion privately and asked her if she would like to go with him to the Magic City to attend the wedding banquet?
Maybe it’s because I’m still thinking about moving!
Yuan Shuiqing had been in the city for a long time recently and might have wanted to go out for a walk. Anyway, Sun Quan asked her if she would like to go to the Magic City to attend the finale party of the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish", and she agreed without much hesitation.
Not only did she agree to go with her, she also said that she would bring her daughter Sun Jiexin with her.
Her original words were, "Okay! Well... since this time I just attended the wedding banquet and nothing else, how about... let's bring our hearts with us? Let her broaden her horizons and experience more from a young age.
I think it will be good for her to get a little exposure to the world and get in touch with more people, what do you think?"
Sun Quan was a little curious at the time, "Only bring Xinxin? Not Dabao and Xiaobao?"
When he asked this question, he actually didn't want to bring Dabao and Xiaobao with him. He was just curious.
Yuan Shuiqing smiled at that time and said, "Dabao, Xiaobao is too young! It's inconvenient to take them with you. They are so young now. Even if they see something or meet someone, they will probably forget it soon, haha,
So, it’s better to leave them at home and let your parents take care of them!”
Sun Quan agreed with the reason she said, and he thought so too.
But on the surface, he glanced at Yuan Shuiqing and said, "Partial!"
Yuan Shui gave him a blank look, "How about we take Dabao and Xiaobao with us, and then I will take care of Xinxin, Dabao, and Xiaobao to you? If you agree, we will take Dabao and Xiaobao with us."
!”
Sun Quan didn't answer her words, and just sneered and repeated, "Humph, partiality!"
After saying that, the smile on his face grew a little uncontrollably.
…
Sun Quan and the others arrived at the set of the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish" at around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
When they arrived, the final scene of the scene had not yet arrived, and it was still early for tonight's wrap-up party. It was rare for them to come to the set, so they prepared some food and drinks in advance. After getting off the car, Gao Guang and Cai Yanan asked Gao Guang and Cai Yanan to bring these
Food and drink were distributed to everyone on the set.
Sun Quan carried his daughter and Yuan Shuiqing to the director Wang Zheng's side, and looked at Cheng Hao and several rival actors who were performing in front of the camera.
The big boss who came to the studio with his daughter in his arms... Sun Quan was probably the first person in history. He didn't feel embarrassed. He walked around with his daughter in his arms as if he was carrying his daughter to visit the house next door. His face was still full of joy.
What a smile!
In front of the camera, Cheng Hao acted very seriously, without even looking at Sun Quan. Yuan Shuiqing glanced at him, and Sun Quan looked at Cheng Hao who was acting seriously in front of the camera, and his heart suddenly moved.
An idea suddenly came to his mind. Since director Gao Yigong has not successfully invited any suitable actor so far, and the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish" is about to be completed...then...why not let Cheng Hao star in "The Last Wish"?
